The journal of the month for June and July is Surface, the American magazine of contemporary design.

Published ten times a year, the magazine provides a rich resource to discover groundbreaking projects, emerging talents, and innovative developments in the worlds of architecture, fashion, art, and design. More than a superficial survey of trends, Surface is the substance of style.

Issue 109, June/July 2014 includes:

Q&A with designer Yiqing Yin.

Ideas in Design — Studio visit with designer Marga Weimans.

Power 100 — Surface’s first annual list of influential figures in art, architecture, fashion, real estate, design, and more… including images and interviews.

Gallery — Portraits of leading women in New York’s architecture and design community, and their thoughts on the industry.
